Jury still out
We have suction cups and we used them somewhat in St. Louis. They are from Piab.
There was only one match (our last Q match) that we made a valiant attempt to "lock down", and we eventually got twisted by two robots. Curing the qualification matches, our focus was not really dominate the ramp (and we were in no position to dominate in St. Louis anyway), but to knock totes over, stay up there, and let other teams on if we were ahead.
As for "do they work"... the jury is still out with us. Once we get our drivetrain working well, then we will have more chances to get our locking mechanism to work. We are going to Pittsburgh this weekend, so we should have plenty of matches to try this system out some more.
